    It's also different because the Beatles were famous and touring (simultaneously) for probably less than 5 years, before they stopped

    They were performing a lot in the 50s but they werent famous til early 60s and stopped touring like... 66? 65? idk

    Can you elaborate ? I don’t understand how that affects their popularity

    No racism in the music industry ended a while before Michael Jackson trust me sly and the family stone was at the Woodstock festival in 1968 and they had a huge crowd, one of the first huge almost full african American bands

    No, it wasn’t “ended” off of sly or acts like Jimi and Santana, though they made a significant push for it.

    Bullshit

    Billie Jean getting heavy rotation lead to more black artists getting airplay and their music videos funded by labels

    That alone lead to the success of many entertainers and allowed them to cross over past disco, R&B & soul music

    It’s facts
    Also thank Bowie for speaking up

    MJ was literally known everywhere. My family in the middle East have told me stories bout how they were rockin with MJ. They have absolutely no idea who the Beatles are. Anecdotal but srsly MJ was so f***ing global.

    Elvis was probably really popular for his time, but he's more of an American 'Icon' Than MJ whose more of a Global Icon.

  • May 4, 2020

    No doubt MJ is easily the most famous and iconic artist ever. Mans was on some larger than life status.
